Welcome!

 

Boy Scouts of America Troop 976, OLGC, Vienna, VA BSA Troop 976 is sponsored by Our Lady of Good Counsel Church (OLGC) in Vienna, Virginia. Membership in the church is not required and boys of any faith are welcome. The Church provides the troop a place to meet, and is ultimately responsible for the Troop. Troop 976 is part of Boy Scouts of America, which designs the program, provides training for leaders, writes the Boy Scout Handbook, and gives the troop the support it needs to run a quality program. Troop 976 is in the George Mason District of the National Capital Area Council, which covers the Washington DC and surrounding suburbs in Virginia and Maryland. The local council office is in Bethesda, Maryland. Our troop meets year round on Wednesday nights. Currently, we have over 70 registered scouts. Each scout is expected to attend wearing his field uniform. Many more details are available within the website.

Merit Badge Day

Posted on Jan 22 2012 - 6:43pm

Looks like most of you had a successful merit badge day. There were a total of 60 scouts that earned one or more of ten different merit badges on Saturday - even after mother nature's best efforts to slow you down. Congratulations. Please join me in thanking all of the merit badge councilors and organizers for making this possible. They all had very positive things to say about all of the scouts in their classes.

Caleb Reed's Eagle Project will start on Sunday, January 22nd (Saturday is cancelled due to weather predictions)

Posted on Jan 12 2012 - 4:52pm

Scouts, wonder if you might have some partial blue card for a merit badge somewhere? Read on....

Based on all partial merit badge blue cards in Mrs. Ahmed's possession, a new list has been posted under Menu -> Files -> Advancement. It is also attached with this announcement.THIS LIST IS NOT COMPLETE. Scouts may be working on other merit badges with counselors that have not been shared with Mrs. Ahmed. The highlighted merit badge blue cards on the list are not in Mrs. Ahmed's possession; scouts or the respective merit badge counselor may have them. IF ANY SCOUT WISHES TO RESUME WORKING ON THE (non-highlighted) PARTIAL MERIT BADGES LISTED IN THE POSTED FILE, PLEASE CONTACT MRS. AHMED TO OBTAIN THE BLUE CARD.
